While all of Virgin's new A330s will sport the new business class seats, a spokesperson for the airline confirmed to Australian Business Traveller that its first two A330s -- which were bought 'pre-loved' from Emirates and currently fly Sydney-Perth -- would not be upgraded to install the new business class seating or remove the middle seat from that aircraft's 2-3-2 layout.
I have read reports from a staffer that they are due to get a refit in Aug, and I consider that insider to be a far more credible source than any "press" comment.
